Neil Gaiman, Malorie Blackman and Terry Pratchett are just some of the popular writers involved in the project.

As you can see, the resulting photos are nothing short of wonderful.

Jones said that when he came up with the idea for the series, he wanted to create images that would turn heads.

He told Metro: ‘The Story Museum in Oxford approached me and asked whether I would be interested in doing a series of portraits to celebrate the museum opening. I said that I had just done a series of authors and I didn’t think that ‘another series of classic portraits’ was going to rock anyone’s world much…but that we needed a “third dimension”.

‘I often use a “third dimension” because photography has proliferated our lives in such an all encompassing way that people in a gallery need a reason to stop and look – rather than just name check – I sometimes use the subject’s voice, or their favourite track and the like in my work.’

‘This time we decided that we would link them with their childhoods and their playful side by asking who their favourite character when they were younger was.The Royal Shakespeare Company and The National Theatre did the hard work – I just had to snap them!’

Every photo is pretty awesome, and Cambridge admitted that he had a hard time finding a favourite (but he does, indeed, have a couple of favourites).

‘You can’t ask [my favourite]. We will end up with The White Witch freezing out the Queen of Hearts who will respond by shouting “Off with her head!” and all hell will break loose!

‘But the answer is in fact two subjects and they are not very skilfully hidden in my last sentence…’

He added that he was hoping to rope in JK Rowling for the shoot (how amazing would that have been?!), but it wasn’t meant to be.

‘I think the only two we’ve missed because of publishing deadlines and their own busy schedules were JK Rowling and Lauren Childs. That seems like a shame, but maybe one day!’

We hope so too.

The 26 Characters exhibition at the Story Museum runs until November 2.
